The following day, after everything was prepared, Asakawa Yu took Tsugami Shoichi and drove to the Sindora Company building.

"It's really impressive."

Looking at the towering building that seemed to reach the clouds, Asakawa Yu let out a sigh.

"After all, it's a company that monopolizes the entire country's IT industry, so it's normal for it to have such a building."

Tsugami Shoichi stood behind Asakawa Yu, dutifully fulfilling his role as a secretary.

As the two entered the building, a receptionist approached them first, asking if they had an appointment or if they had other business to attend to.

After Asakawa Yu explained his intention to meet with their chairman, the receptionist said he needed to check first and asked the two of them to wait a moment.

A short while later, the receptionist rushed back with a smile and said, "It's all confirmed. The chairman asked me to take you two upstairs. Please follow me."

Asakawa Yu and Tsugami Shoichi didn't say much, and just followed each other towards their destination.

"Gentlemen, this is the chairman's office. I'll be going down now."

After delivering the two, the receptionist left, leaving Asakawa Yu and the other person alone.

Boom boom boom!

"Please come in." A deep voice came from behind the door.

Without hesitation, Asakawa Yu and the other person opened the door.

"Welcome, Mr. Asakawa. I have been waiting for you for a long time."

The moment Asakawa Yu entered, an elderly man, over fifty years old, walked towards him.

The man was wearing a light purple suit and had a thick beard that covered his entire body from the nose down.

He looked more serious, but his smile made up for it, making him look more like a kind and approachable old man.

However, Asakawa Yu's gaze was not focused on him at this moment, but rather she was secretly observing the man sitting on the sofa behind him.

The man wore square, full-rimmed black glasses, had a thick beard, short black hair, and his bangs were parted to the sides. His appearance was 90 percent similar to Shinichi Kudo in his high school days.

Yusaku Kudo!

The men that Asakawa Yu tries her best to avoid associating with in this world are also the people that Asakawa Yu doesn't want to face directly at this stage.

There's no other reason than that Aoyama's mention of the title "the ceiling of intelligence" in the interview was enough to alert Asakawa Yu.

Despite having a good relationship with Conan, this doesn't mean that Yusaku Kudo would feel at ease having such a mysterious person around his son.

"Sigh~ It seems this trip might not be as easy as I imagined."

Asakawa Yu thought this to herself, but on the surface, she didn't reveal any flaws.

At that moment, perhaps noticing that Asakawa Yu's gaze was fixed on Kudo Yusaku behind her, Chairman Sindora suddenly remembered this incident.

"By the way, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Yusaku Kudo, one of the people I invited to help us complete this game, 'Cocoon'."

"Mr. Yusaku Kudo, this is Mr. Yu Asakawa. Don't let his young age fool you; his abilities might surprise you."

As the middleman, Sindora began to introduce the two of them one by one, while Kudo Yusaku even stood up from the sofa and extended his hand to Asakawa Yu.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Asakawa. I am Yusaku Kudo."

Asakawa Yu knew that the person in front of her must have investigated her beforehand, but given the current situation, it would be better to go along with the other party's wishes for now.

"I've heard so much about you, Mr. Kudo. I'm Asakawa Yu." Asakawa Yu reached out and shook hands with Kudo Yusaku.

"Actually, I also invited someone else today, but due to other reasons, I may not be able to meet with you both for the time being."

Sindora sat on the sofa and began to discuss today's topic.

"It's alright," Asakawa Yu replied, but in her heart she was thinking, "Could this last one be Professor Agasa?"

It's very likely, since the original storyline mentioned that Yusaku Kudo and Professor Agasa created the London storyline inside the Cocoon.

"Alright, now that everyone's here, let's get straight to the point. Mr. Asakawa, you mentioned on the phone that you're optimistic about the future of our game and want to invest in us, right?"

"Yes, I believe the world will soon be dominated by artificial intelligence and big data, so I am very optimistic about your company's plan."

Asakawa Yu began to recount his prepared remarks, and he wasn't actually lying. In the following days, the internet developed rapidly, and the era of big data followed.

However, it has nothing to do with the person in front of him.

It has to be said that Asakawa Yu's groundbreaking rhetoric would be enough to tempt any businessman.

Finally, after a long discussion, the two of them settled on the matter.

Afterwards, Sindora started discussing the game's production with Yusaku Kudo. This had nothing to do with Yu Asakawa, but it was still good to listen.

"Then it's settled. As for the contract details, I will inform you, Mr. Asakawa, when the time comes."

"I understand. I wish us a pleasant cooperation, Chairwoman Sindora."

After about an hour, the three finally decided to end their meeting.

Asakawa Yu and Sindora stood facing each other, their hands clasped together once more.

"I'll go with Mr. Asakawa too, so as not to disturb the chairman's next arrangements."

At this moment, Kudo Yu spoke up, and his words also caught Asakawa Yu's attention.

"Are you here? This means you want to find an opportunity to talk to me alone."

However, since the other party has already done this, Asakawa Yu naturally won't say anything more. It's a good opportunity for her to use this time to dispel Kudo Yusaku's suspicions about her.

"I see. Then I won't keep you two any longer. I'll treat you to a proper meal next time."

Subsequently, guided by his assistant, Asakawa Yu, along with Tsugami Shoichi and Kudo Yusaku, left the Syndora Group building.

"Mr. Asakawa, would you like to have a meal together? It would be perfect, as my wife would like to express her gratitude for the care you have given my son in Japan."

Asakawa Yu narrowed his eyes and smiled at Kudo Yusaku, saying, "Of course, I happen to have something to discuss with Mr. Kudo Yusaku."

After telling Tsugami Shoichi that he would go back first, Asakawa Yu got into Kudo Yusaku's car and headed to the restaurant arranged by the couple...
